Answer 1

Hey calm down... house training is not so bad when you have a plan. First remember.. dogs are basiclly clean.. they don't like to soil where they live or sleep. When she is alone.. she should be in a crate.. big enough for her to turn about in.. but no much more. She will only sleep and possibly chew on a toy... when you wake up immediately take her out and put her outside... and wait.. it won't take long... when she does what you want then tell her how good she is.. a treat is always a good idea as well.... when you have to leave her when you go to work put her back in the crate.. remember immediatelty put her outside again.

After meals, and every 2-3 hours.. watch her.. get to know her signs.. they all have them.. and never make a huge fuss when she makes a mistake. If you are outside and she doesn't do what she is supposed to .. then you have to wait.. wait until she does it. Don't shout and wave your arms about .. it will only distract her. DOnt play when she should be toileting...just wait patiently... it wont take that long.

Answer 2

Am the proud owner of two dogs that took only days to house break. Amagroomertx gave a good answer. Shame on many of the rest of you who want to condemn the dog owner for her frustration -- good owners often need to be trained right along with their dogs.

Dogs are den animals by nature. They will not mess their own dens if given any other possibility. Your home is much bigger than a dog's den, so you need to restrict the size a bit; crate training does wonders.

Basically, put the dog in a crate not much bigger than the dog. After an hour or two, take the dog outside and give it a chance to relieve itself. If it is not ready, place it back in the crate. If it does, give it some time in your house without placing it in the crate. Before an accident become very possible, place the dog back in the crate. Then wait until the dog is likely about to eliminate again and give it another opportunity.

Very important: praise the dog each time it properly eliminates outdoors. If there is an accident, make sure the dog understands what you are talking about and sharply say "no." Keep this up for a few days and the dog will get the idea of what is expected. Unless the dog is psychologically unbalanced, it will try to please you and the problem will be fixed.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Wow, maybe you shouldn't have a dog. I have never seen an untrainable dog, just owners that don't know how to train. I don't say this to be mean, I learned from experience. I had several dogs that were very easy to house-train, and then I got one that was more work, ended up that I just needed to relate to her in a different way and spend more time with her. She needed a very consistent schedule, and I had always been a more unscheduled kind of person. Most dogs respond well to praising the good instead of punishing the bad, by this point I doubt your dog knows what you want. So start over. Clean everything. Get a training book and follow the rules strictly. I wish you the best.

Answer 4

Picking up comes with the territory! Just imagine if you had the same problem times 3. And that's where I"m at. Sort of. Two are trained. One is not. They all want to go outside and do go potty when outside. But the little one, the youngest has gotten used to going on the pee pee pads on the inside of the house and then the other two do it too. .So now it fills up 3X's as fast..... And yes, I'm very tired of it. Especially since I'm not in good health to be doing that everyday. I suggest doing some research on training her better or in finding her another home. A place where, hopefully, they can teach her to stop going inside. It's hard I know.....and I do feel your pain..... I keep asking myself how I got into this mess in the first place. (my kid....). Well, good luck and I hope it works out for you both.

Answer 5

Have you taken her to the vet to make sure that it isn't a medical issue that is causing her to have "accidents"?

Once that is ruled out, there are several steps that you can take to help house-break her more effectively.

First, make sure that she is on a high quality diet. Purina, Pedigree, Iams, Science Diet, etc. are not high quality. Low quality foods can cause digestive issues that make house-breaking more difficult.

Second, crate train her. This is usually the best way to house-break a dog. Crate training is not mean or cruel no matter what anyone tells you.

Third, take her outside every time she eats, and wakes up.

Finally, pay close attention to her when she is not in her crate. Most dogs give signals when they have to go. They keep their heads low. They circle while sniffing the ground. They may even whine.

Answer 6

I have a yorkiepoo. I bought puppy potty pads to train him and it worked so well that I kept using them even after he was housebroken. I didn't want to walk him all the time. You need to get a frame that holds the pads. This will keep the dog from shredding the pad all over the house!!! Also, you can get a spray that smells like dog urine (it won't stink up the house, but the dog can smell it). Spray a little of that on the pad, and have patience, and the dog will learn. Good Luck!!

Answer 7

What sort of fantasy world are you living in? The training aside, did you actually think that you would be able to get a dog that would never poop? Good lord! You cannot be that dim that you did not think that poop would be part of it. If you can't handle poop, you'll never have the maturity to deal with training, so that isn't even an issue worth discussing. You are not a fit dog parent. Advertise. Find a good home; don't just drop it off at the pound, PLEASE, but you are not fit to have a dog. Find it a decent home.

Answer 8

Hi! I have to say the very first necessity is: " Patience". Yea, I know you've heard it all before. I have 2 Longhair Chihuahuas, one of the most difficult breeds to housebreak. I even have the luxury of having a fenced in yard but it is not an instant resolve. You need to take your dog out within 20 minutes of eating or drinking without rushing them choose an area & observehis/her behavior, circling is good!. I say 'Go pee', in the early years, it was like, "I don't understand" but the repetative words catch on rather quickly. As soon as I catch them squating (I eagerly wait 'till they are done) then praise the heck out of them. Bring 'em inside and 'treat' immediately, food, praise and hug. Then put them down.
There are many ways to do this, not just this one, but it worked for me. If you are freezing while waiting you can always bring him/her in while you warm up but place your dog in a crate, don't let them run around; then try again. A long leash or retractable works best, fence or no fence you need to catch them doing what they are supposed to be doing, not play, etc. Oh, if he/she is using papers, sometimes move them to the exit you will be taking them out to do it's business. Little dogs have lil' innerds, things move through rather quickly; try giving them food 2 times a day then pick it up. Do the routine and remember Patience, yelling, obvious frustration makes them scared and less likely to comply with your wishes. Good luck

Answer 9

The only way to house break any dog is, you have to catch them in the act, and as loudly as possible, yell "NO". Believe me, this really works. I like you, felt that my Siberian Husky would never discover what the yard outside was for. I tried everything and she would hold it inside until I let her back in the house and there it was, her gift to me. I caught her one night at about 3:00 am in the formal dinning room just getting ready to do her thing and believe me, I woke up the whole neighborhood when I yelled "NO". And from then on, no more problem. Try it. It works. Good luck and don't give up.

Answer 10

I imagine she is NOT untrainable. Puppies and dogs take a lot of time and effort. YOu need advice from your vet or professional dog trainer. More than likely you are not being consistant in your training methods. Ask for help before you get angry with the dog and get rid of it. That is not responsible
